Effective January 1, 2016, the California minimum wage will
increase to $10.00 per hour. This increase requires that any
employees with an hourly wage of less than $10.00 have their hourly
wage increased as of January 1, 2016 for all time worked.
For any employee who receives an increased hourly wage rate,
employers are required to provide that employee with a written
notice of the change within seven (7) days of the effective date of
the change. This notice may be given to each employee via a Labor
Code 2810.5 form (available online at www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/LC_2810.5_Notice.pdf),
through a written notice explaining the change, or through a wage
statement reflecting the change provided within seven (7) days of
the effective date. For employers who are not providing
paychecks/wage statements by January 7, 2015, employees should
receive a separate written notice informing them of the change.
